My friend at S&C said his firm provides him with 6 weeks of work time (paid at the pro-rated rate of an associate) during the summer while he studies for the bar as a recent graduate. Can anyone confirm this program?

Does this program exist for any other firm in the V10? I'll be working at another, and I never heard of such a thing.

Sounds like it. 6 weeks = ~$18,000, which is right around what many firms in NYC give as a bar stipend

NY firms don't give a bar stipend...

As an absolute rule, this is incorrect; I work at a V30 firm that gave us a $17,000 bar stipend (not an advance - we didn't have to pay it back). I will note that while it was better than the more typical advance, we had to pay for our own bar prep courses and bar exam fees.
